Introducing IFTTT

IFTTT (which stands for "if this, then that") uses simple applets to connect services and devices from different manufacturers and create new and custom experiences. Through IFTTT, Nexia is able to extend their capabilities across other home automation platforms -- such as Philips hue bulbs, WeMo switches, and Netgear Arlo cameras - and lets subscribers include countless devices and services in their Nexia automations.

Getting Started with Nexia and IFTTT

Set up your IFTTT account:

Create an IFTTT account if you do not already have one by clicking the “Sign up” button.

Enter your email address and create a password.

Once your IFTTT account is created, you can now connect to the IFTTT service by clicking the "Search" button.

In the search field, enter "Nexia" to find the Nexia service.

Click the "Nexia" tile under "Services".

Click the "Connect" button below the Nexia service.

Enter your Nexia username and password.

Adding IFTTT Triggers or Actions to Your Nexia Automations:

Login to your Nexia account at mynexia.com after you have configured your IFTTT account.

You can now create Nexia automations that trigger IFTTT actions, or automations that are triggered by IFTTT, or both. Click on the Nexia “Automations” tab. Note: the IFTTT triggers and actions will not be visible in Nexia until you link your Nexia account to IFTTT (see previous steps).

Edit an existing automation, or click “Add Automation”.

To configure a Nexia automation to be triggered by IFTTT (e.g. enable you to create “run my Nexia automation whenever my child arrives at home”), click the “Add Trigger” button in your Nexia automation, and then click “Select a trigger”, choose “3rd-Party Integrations”, and then select “IFTTT”.

Create an IFTTT applet:

Once you have configured your IFTTT account and Nexia automations, you can now configure IFTTT applets to interact with your Nexia automations. For example, let’s configure an applet to send email when your Nexia automation runs.
